Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

NYU offers students a taste of the hustle and bustle they will most likely encounter in the real world once they graduate. It is an overpopulated institution, so you have to be ready to fight to gain certain academic opportunities, but cultivating such a habit may serve as indirect training for new graduates when they have to go about securing jobs in their respective fields. Life at NYU demands a certain kind of disposition; thus, it is not for everyone. For students who love NYC and the challenge and experience it offers, it is an exciting and ever-changing community. For those who desire a community-rich college experience, NYU is lacking in that area. However, you can make an amazing experience out of what the school does offer. Whatever your choice, get ready for a mix of demanding academics and wild experiences in the city. Finding a balance between the two is key at this big-city school.

Many students claim that the best part about attending NYU is living in New York City, while other students complain about the school's large tuition. Most often, students are dissatisfied with the lack of a campus or school spirit, and many students believe that the institution is run too much like a business, with the school using millions of dollars to make NYU a global institution instead of supporting its current students. Otherwise, most students appreciate the various benefits of living in the city, such as diverse and exciting nightlife options, a broad range of cuisines, and prestigious and diverse internship opportunities.

Very Diverse

Just walking down University Place, you see that students at NYU come from very different backgrounds. I've encountered people of all colors, religions, and socioeconomic backgrounds. You really do get exposed to a lot of people outside one's original community.

Dining Halls Are Better Than I Thought

Although cafeteria food in general has its limits, NYU is pretty good at maintaining variety. The meal plan is a bit pricey, but it all depends on which dining hall you go to and at what time/day. Some dining halls make you get a set portion for your meal plan, but other dining halls are buffet style. All dining halls allow take-out because they know we are busy college students. All dining halls have vegetarian options, too. Many different cuisines can be found in all of them, such as Asian, Spanish, Italian, and American.

A City Is Always Busy

NYU's campus is pretty nice when it comes to clubs and activities. Going to the fall club fest shows you that there are 100, maybe even 200 different clubs at this university. New York is a diverse city, so there are clubs on religion, frats, hobbies, sports, almost anything you could ever want! The Kimmel Center is a great place to hang out and most of the club activities occur there. There is also a nice gym a few blocks away from the main class building area. The Bobst library is also fantastic for studying, in almost any way imaginable. (Solitary studying, quiet studying, semi-loud studying, group studying, etc.) I also consider it the hyperbolic time chamber because I somehow get work done ten times faster in there. All in all, NYU's facilities are A+.
